********************************************************** **** EDAC -- The European Design Automation Conference *** **** Glasgow, Scotland 12-15 March 1990 *** ********************************************************** **** ADVANCE NOTICE AND CALL FOR PAPERS **** ---> AIMS EDAC exists as a non-profit association of European DA professionals with the sole purpose of promoting a top quality technical conference in the field of Design Automation. The aim is to meet the much needed requirement for an international conference with a European flavour to provide a significant focus and forum for Electrical Engineering DA professionals. ---> SCOPE OF CONFERENCE Emphasis will be placed on techniques and methods employed in all aspects of the use of computers in the design of electronic equipment, systems, boards and circuits. The scope will cover all areas of the design process from concept to manufacture and includes CAD and DA tools for analog, digital, VLSI, microwave and high-speed electronics. ---> AREAS OF INTEREST Original papers on (but not limited to) the following topics are invited: 1. Simulation Behavioural, Logic, Timing, Circuit and Device Simulation, Simulation Engines, Accelerators, Modelling. 2. Verification Formal Methods, Proof Systems, Static Timing Verification, Design Rule Checking, Schematic Checking, Specification. 3. Physical Design Placement, Routing, Floor Planning, Cell Generators, Compaction, Optimisation, Manufacturability. 4. Testing Test Pattern generation, Testability Analysis, Built-in Self Test, Fault Simulation, Defect Modelling, Yield Analysis. 5. Synthesis Architectural Synthesis, Logic (Boolean) Synthesis, Behavioural Synthesis, Optimisation Techniques, Neural Net Models. 6. Systems Total CAD Systems, Frameworks, Data Management, Design Management, User Interfaces, Standards, CAD Development Methodology, Languages, Concurrency and CAD, Manufacturing Interfaces. ---> SUBMISSION OF PAPERS The nine manuscript sets should each include: 1. A Cover Page stating the names, affiliations and addresses of all authors, together with the identification, telephone and fax numbers of the principal author, bearing in mind that communications for paper acceptances and mailing of the author kit will occur in October 1989. The cover page should also include the following signed statement: "All appropriate claerances for the publication of this paper have been obtained, and, if accepted, the author will prepare the final manuscript in time for inclusion in the Conference Proceedings and will present the paper at the conference." 2. Title and Abstract Page stating the title of the paper, a 70 word abstract indicating what is new and significant in the results presented, and an ordered list of Key Words taken from the areas and topics listed under areas of interest. 3 The Complete Draft of the paper, including an outline of all illustrations and references not exceeding 12 pages (double spaced A4). The international review panel will give high preference to papers that, excluding references, figures and tables, do not exceed 3000 words to clearly present the work, methods, results, originality, significance, superiority andapplication of the techniques discussed. As far as possible, although there will be an opportunity to update the paper from an extended abstract, the submitted manuscript should closely reflect the final paper as it will appear in the Proceedings, which will be 5 pages double column format.
